Friendly place. Great food! (fish tacos are perfect - burgers too). wonderful staff!! Decent prices and good drinks!

The service was wonderful. The servers were friendly and fast and always filled our drinks before they were empty. If you like lemonade, try it, you won't be disappointed. The servers are the only reason i'm giving them two stars. We've eaten there several times, and the food is getting progressively worse. I had the 12oz prime rib tonight. I asked for it to come medium and got well done. In fact, it was well beyond well done. It was dry. It was flavorless, except along the edges that had a grunch of pepper. The baked potato had to have been baked yesterday. I will still go here because sadly, it's one of the better restaurants in the area. If you go there, have the pizza and forget the menu. read more

Our first time trying Iron Mike's Tavern, It didn't disappoint. Took our son & Daughter-in-Law for their birthday's.

Great portions both. Our waitress Lexi friendly,fast service atmosphere of neighborhood bar. read more

I-275 south of Metro airport is a bit of a food desert, and when a Yelp search turned up this place just off the Huron road exit a visit was in order. Iron Mikes was about half full at 7 PM on a Friday. Took a seat at the bar and got my drink order taken quickly. Very low key atmosphere but clean and lively,, I was in the mood for a burger so ordered a patty melt. I was a bit surprised to see it topped with American cheese (see photo); I thought patty melts by definition used swiss. Wasn't in the mood to send it back and I figured a cheeseburger's a cheeseburger so I tucked in. And never looked back. The beef had good flavor and was cooked to a perfect medium. It was a large patty--1/2 lb., though you can get a 3/4 pounder if you're really hungry. Onions were well carmelized. The housemade chips were also great, crisped but not burnt. Had servers check back in regularly and when the time came, process my bill quickly. Iron Mike's was a treat. read more

Wow..... what a hidden gem! I came here after a tough day at work alone. I was looking for mediocre food and a beer. Instead I got the most amazing grilled chicken wrap, house salad and to die for hot sauce. None of that is what gives this place 5 stars, I had the BEST SERVICE EVER. my waitress was attentive, apologized for the most minimum wait and was excellent in suggestions. I wish I would have caught her name (probably 38-40 year old blonde skinny lady) but damn was she an excellent waitress. I watched her hustling to make sure every table she had was happy! Top 3 best service I've ever had!! I will be back! I think I just found my favorite down river bar! read more

Super friendly! Food is good! Loved the vibe!! Highly recommend stopping by, I drive by all the time and have never even eaten here! I was missing out! read more

I've been to Iron Mike's several times over the past year, and the service has gotten noticeably worse each visit. The bar staff seems completely overwhelmed or uninterested, even though the restaurant advertises specialty drinks they can't seem to execute well. Asking to change a TV channel is pointless -- you'll end up staring at a Detroit Tigers logo instead of an actual game. Something has definitely changed here, and it feels like management's attention is somewhere else. Maybe the recent golf course purchase is taking priority over taking care of the customers they already have. Disappointing decline. read more

We went to a new spot, and found heaven on Earth. They served us a five gallon bucket of tater tot nachos, and beer so cold it required a signed waiver. My expectations were exceeded, and my arteries have been put on notice. read more

Food is fried& they get you a lot. Attentive to customers needs Good music and cool bikers make this place fun! read more

Coming home from the airport and decided to try it. I had a patty melt that was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the NY strip and said it tastes great. Prices are at least 25% lower than I would expect for the portions and quality. We will be back. read more

Went there paid the waitress then she said we didn't pay her. She lost the $20 bill came to the parking lot to flag us down. It was awful and embarrassing. Won't go back there ever again. read more

First visit to Iron Mikes. The atmosphere is a small town bar vibe. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant even though it has the look of an old bar is clean, bathrooms were very clean as well. Our Server took great care of us and the food was delicious! They even accommodated my diet with something not on the menu. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a try... even if you're not in the area it's worth the drive. read more

Owner and servers had my parents leaving in distress through racist actions and rude comments grew up going here and I'm very disappointed to hear this, the sweetest people tried to celebrate instead left with a horrible experience and a reason to reach out and let people know these actions are still lurking in crappy restaurants. read more

How does a bar have a hamburger with no flavor I took it home for my dog to eat and he took it out of his bowl and looked at be like you really think im gonna eat this my dog eats anything but iron mikes had to toss it in the garbage never coming back the service was horrible their was with 5 other people and we all had to wait for 15 minutes before they took our drink orders then another 20 minutes just to order food that my dog won't even eat read more

We live local and have been in three times with increasingly worse service. We have tried but it really seems like it is more of a social club for the regulars than anything else, including the owner. Today we left before ordering as another one of the owners group came in after we did and got waited on before us. We paid for our beer and left. The waitress did offer to have the owner read more

The service was a 2 , ambiance a 3 and the food was absolutely horrible. I would not recommend eating other than burger or a pizza after all it's pretty hard to screw them up. read more

The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere was warm on a cold day. We will definitely be back.

Good food new tables and chairs I like the ribeye steak and French onion soup plus fee popcorn fair prices the help is friendly

Found this place on Google since it was close to the golf course I was at, and I'm so glad we stopped. The food was good, the waitress was very nice, and we got to sit outside on the little patio to enjoy the nice weather. Get the sampler platter if you can't decide what appetizer to get. However, don't get Stella on tap. It was not the best tasting. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find a place with similar quality to Bobby McShane's in this same area! We played it safe this time- the cheddar burger with black olives (custom) got rave reviews from my other half (I also had a bit and he's right! It was great!). High quality, flavorful beef and nice sesame seed bun. I had the triple decker club with no ham and extra bacon (crispy). It was on delightful marble rye and presented like a normal sandwich- not in 4 pieces. It was just good! Exactly the right size for lunch. We shall come back and try more later. Covid precautions inside were impressive. Even the customers got the responsibility memo! read more

I've always had a good meal at Iron Mike's. I've only been there a handful of times with friends, but tonight I went alone for the fish fry. The fish was nice and hot, crispy on the outside and just lovely on the inside. My beer was super cold and the staff was friendly and attentive. You can't go wrong with Iron Mike's. read more

My family and I were passing through on are way home and figured we would give this place a try. This place didn't disappoint at all. Good atmosphere & amazing food. Perch is great if u love fish. Ribs, burgers, Italian food they do it all. Our waitress Makayla was awesome. She was very attentive to us, made us feel welcomed, and was just very sweet! Very impressed by this establishment. read more

After all the great things I have heard, we finally went to eat here. let me say we were greatly disappointed ! the server was rude, and seemed as if she didn't want to be bothered. we left 90% of our meal on the table. the "loaded" potato skins were not loaded with anything, they could not be cut or even chewed, they were like leather. the chili was like tomato soup with beans. and the $20 drink sat on the table. will not be returning. read more

My friend and I were in from out of town and looking for local places to eat near our Airbnb. Our host recommended Iron Mike's for their ribs. Since we are "rib people", it was a no brainer! The place really is a dive bar, but clean and a bit brighter inside than most dive bars I've been in. You get a basket of popcorn when you sit down! Awesome! I assumed the menu would revolve around ribs, but they were just on the menu like one more thing. Well, we got them and they were AMAZING. Like, the best ribs I have ever had. Fall off the bone even dry, fantastic sauce, meaty ... I'm in heaven just thinking about it! We then went to another upscale rib place a couple days later (Slow's in Detroit. Don't bother. I wrote a review for them too...). We paid TWICE what we paid here and the quality was really crap. We needed to cleanse our palette so we went back to Iron Mike's a day or 2 after that. Again, amazing. I will say, the second time we went they weren't quite *as* amazing, but I think he had cooked them the day prior. Out first time he was in the lot while we ate! If you see that smoker going, hustle your tuckus in, even if you aren't hungry! Take them home! If you got a hanker for ribs, head on over no matter what day. They are bound to be epic no matter what. read more

If you like local, you'll like Iron Mike's. Don't let the "dive bar" moniker deter you. There's plenty of seating at the bar, tables or on the patio, weather permitting. It's open and airy and roomy. Fun destination for a summer motorcycle ride. Great place for a burgers and a beer but if you like prime rib, come on Wednesdays! You can tell it's a local hangout with an easy-going atmosphere and staff that seems to know everyone that walks in the door! read more

It's not the food necessarily that gets 5 stars, but the whole experience. The waiters were super friendly and so welcoming to us visiting and starving Californians on the road. The chicken wings are breaded and fried - not what I usually eat! But so good! :-) read more

The food is really good the burgers and ribs are my favorite. I am upset I just started going and I've been here eight months in new Boston.

Decent bar food service is always great! Ask about their daily specials never once got sick from eating here.

Always good food, drink and service. Their Long Islands are good and they have a nice selection of beer on tap. Very happy they were able to get get through the pandemic. They are not open on Sunday. I think that's a credit to them. read more

Picked up a carry out of just one cheeseburger and fries. The total was around $11.00. Also have a $2.00 tip. Once I got home I was frustrated to see they charged extra for using a credit card and for the take out container. Was not told this only realized when I seen the breakdown of the receipt. Food was good. Just be aware of extra charges. read more

I ate here for the first time and it will be my last I was served rotten fish told the waitress to tell management so someone doesn't get sick and asked for a discount and she said the manager said no. Do not eat here they don't care if the sell spoiled food. I'm thinking of calling the health department this place is discusting!! read more

Food ok... asked to take our food and leave because they had a group of golfers coming back early because of bd weather. Don't take my order if your going to ask me to leave while waiting on my food read more

Delightful staff, friendly bartender. Food was excellent and price was typical bar prices. Drinks were good and not weak.

On Saturdays, they have Mexican dishes on special. They are pretty good considering they're not a Mexican restaurant :) Still love the side salads and popcorn- and the servers are always nice, which I appreciate. Now that we have a little one we tend to get a lot of attention from the waitstaff! read more

Iron Mike's is a solid choice if you're in the area. They have a hole-in-the-wall bar type feel but also have a side area for more family-like seating and an outdoor patio area. Their menu is pretty impressive for a smaller establishment and I've never had anything I didn't like. Highlights include ribs, the steak and cheese grinder sandwich, and mini sliders. Also, they give you free popcorn to snack on! The only complaint- on a few occasions someone has tossed some money in the jukebox and it's WAY too loud - like club loud, which is fine, but not at 4p.m. on a Wednesday. read more

Stopped in here last night for a burger with a friend. The staff was soooppeer friendly. I had a Smokehouse burger it had BBQ sauce & grilled onions & Cheddar & bacon & was 3/4lb . It was delicious. The fries were like homemade potato chips I didn't love them . They were just Okay. I also had a Coke. Which is great!! They serve Coke products!!! I will definitely go back. read more

If you're lucky, you will be in Hayley's section. The perch was fantastic. After I mentioned my carrot allergy, they subbed corn for the mixed vegetables. Even the baked potato was delicious. One person in our party had a terrific firecracker burger that was cooked to perfection. We loved it! read more
